The quality and flavor of the marine products at Hagi Port attract seafood wholesalers from throughout Japan. Highly sought after by purveyors of haute cuisine, such exceptional ingredients are found right on Rikki’s doorstep. This geographical advantage and our network of local producers ensure that guests enjoy an unparalleled selection of exquisite seafood.

For an exclusive taste experience, Japanese Polled — the rarest breed of wagyu beef cattle — is purchased directly from Japan’s sole producer, the Japanese Polled Public Corporation. With a high lean meat content and distinctive Wagyu taste, only the meat from just two head of cattle is available each month. Guests can also enjoy wild game from autumn through winter, including an occasional wild boar supplied by local hunter Kazunori Arida.

Together with local Hagi farmer Takaya Umeji and Minoru Farm’s Minoru Hosoda, Rikki is opening the door to an unprecedented palette of novel flavors and taking on new challenges in collaboration with professionals in both agriculture and the culinary arts.
